Remember when Joanna Cherry MP and Rosie Duffield MP rolled their eyes in parliament when another MP read a letter from a trans constituent who’d considered suicide? What a crappy world TERFs have made for themselves. Cruel and empty. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
I was only talking about this yesterday. Such a grotesque and unedifying moment. Duffield has evaluated all 800+ of us who signed the letter, the two judges and 16 authors who withdrew from the prize and decided to tweet that we're homophobic. Class.
Well...I hope they rot ❤️
Must be hellish dealing with criticism levelled at him for his stance / beliefs… So much harder than being a Trans person whose right to exist is debated daily by people who know nothing about them, whilst the Govt attacks their ability to live their lives freely in wider society & access treatment🤷🏻♀️
Let’s not forget Hilary Cass’s contribution to the same topic:
Their feelings are so important they should form the basis of the law. Our feelings are just an attempt to manipulate them
Captured the moment Duffield looks to the others to check their reactions before putting on her own theatrics.
So glad her constituency showed her the door!
Shame her party didn’t, long before
And yet it feels like we hear from her even more now. She's apparently threatening to write a memoir now too.
any newspaper that doesn’t publish it is lesbophobic and in breach of her protected KC rights
youtu.be/u7cxYTkH-z8?... With video, too. So people can see just how exaggerated Joanna's response is
So much disingenuousness is required to be a transphobe, a constant pretense of not understanding any real evidence or experience, that it really does break your brain. To quote TMBG, “You can’t shake the devil’s hand then say you were only kidding.”
it is the how?what?why? mainly why that just does me in ... it's just so stupid and mean and a horrific distraction and stupid and mean

Well said.
If your LGBTQ fiction prize admits far-right skinheads, then perhaps it's not for LGBTQ authors.
I think he’s just bald.
It's literally their campaigning that's helping push some Trans+ people to make the most tragic of choices They have a deep lack of empathy - and whatever empathy they do have they reserve for their rich 'cancelled' friends
Not to mention that Cherry repeatedly and insistently refers to the other MP as straight in a way to specificlaly and deliberately decrease the validity of her acitons, when she is on record that she is not straight.
Boyne is just wallowing in the “power” his “kind” offer to withdraw gives the brain stunted twat. Just withdraw the dross he wrote and move on with his miserable life, without putting conditions on it. Nobody cares about his self imposed anguish.
He will "consider" Aka he ain't gonna do shit.
